30 Rock is such a good show

Tracy: I'm gonna make you a mix tape. You like Phil Collins?
Jack: I've got two ears and a heart, don't I?

 

Great show... It's too bad NBC's Thursday night lineup finishes third every week...

 

Remember a year ago, before the fall TV season started, when everyone thought Studio 60 would be far superior to 30 Rock?

Hmph.

 

Tonight's episode looks like a winner: "Ludachristmas" guest starring Andy Richter, Buck Henry, and Elaine Stritch! A rerun of The Office from last year ["Benihana Christmas"] precedes. Should be a pretty solid 90 minutes [The Office is an hour long episode...in my opinion the show loses something when it's stretched out to an hour]. Some sort of SNL Christmas special runs after 30 Rock.

 

And, unfortunately, I believe this will be the last new episode until after the writers strike ends. And I heard yesterday that those who would know about these things say that the strike will not end any time soon. They are saying 6 months at least as the studios are now ready to write off the season, and feel they have the cash to outlast the writers.

So enjoy tonights show.

 

Anyone see the season premiere with Erection Cove?

It is the funniest episode of TV comedy I have seen since Seinfeld's prime.

 

Watched it online the other day. Incredible, as usual.

''They told us to sweep sawdust so we'd find work at a mill... I feel like I'm back in that boiler room, making little piles of sawdust while Gilly plays with himself in a corner.''

 

"Gilly chewed through his headgear."

 

Bringing it full circle, did you see Seinfeld's name on the credits of MILF Island? Went by quick - thank goodness for TiVo pause.

 

Liz Lemon: Why are you wearing a tux?
Jack: It’s after 6! What am I, a farmer?

 

Yes, Vice President Cheney, I think she will win, too.

 

And when you consider it's the fourth best comedy on NBC that night ... kind of makes the word "great" ring hollow.
